DD is 3.5, and I'm aware that a lot of this may just be normal age related development.
I am 23 weeks pregnant so she hears a lot about the baby, more from others than us. I've also had a difficult pregnancy so haven't been able to do the same things with her and she's had a few extra sessions at nursery when I've been ill.
For the last 4-6 weeks, she's gone from being easy going and responsive to a bit of a handful. Lots of defiance, throwing stuff in anger, hitting and kicking (just us) and everything we try to do just becomes a massive battle - even when it's going out to do fun stuff for her.
She's been more emotional in lots of ways, but in particular if there is any change. She cried for days when we got rid of an old kitchen table, was upset this morning because I sold her old highchair and refuses to go into the nursery. She's not used it for 18 months and has her own lovely room which she is very happy with. She says that she is sad because it used to be her room and now it isn't.
Is there anything we can do to help her cope better with change given a pretty huge one is coming her way?
